Four Star Pizza on Linden Avenue voluntarily closed its doors recently after a local health department inspection found numerous shortcomings in the restaurant's operations.

A July 8 inspection uncovered two live cockroaches - one on a deli slicer, one under. Four days later, after a grace period allowing for restaurant cleanup, Health Inspector Adam Dickerson returned to find a substandard cleanliness level on the oven conveyor, vents and cutting boards in addition to a faulty prep cooler, which has been keeping foods such as chicken at 50 degrees instead of the state mandated 41.
